Sermon
The Wisdom of God
Stonebrook Community Church
Speaker: Brad Barrett

Summary
Paul contrasts worldly Greek philosophy with the gospel of Christ, arguing that the cross—seemingly foolish to the perishing—is God's true power and wisdom. Rather than boasting in human achievement or adopting worldly ideas, believers must root themselves in Christ alone and resist the pride that divides the church.
Highlights
Why are you forsaking what saved you, power from heaven, the ultimate eternal wisdom? Why are you forsaking that for all these weak and foolish worldly philosophies that ultimately will ruin you and will not help?
The grace that saves us is the same grace that we walk in.
A pursuit of greatness on our own is a burden we really don't want to bear. Wouldn't it be better to come to a gracious God who gives us all of that and in greater ways because it's from heaven?
